One of the safest large cities in Latin America in terms of violent crime. The main problem is petty theft and scams.

Stay in a 'Casa Particular'
It is the best way to experience Cuban culture. You stay in a room in a local family's house. They are affordable, comfortable, and the hosts are an incredible source of information.
Go to the Cuban Art Factory at night
It's not just a museum. It is the most vibrant and modern place in Havana. Arrive early to avoid the long lines.
Tip is very important
State salaries are very low. A small tip (around 10%) for waiters, guides and musicians makes a big difference and is greatly appreciated.
Ask permission to take photos
Be respectful when taking photos of people, especially close-up portraits. They will often ask you for a small tip in return, especially if they are dressed in traditional costumes.
Bring your own medications and toiletries
Shortages are common. Don't count on being able to buy things like pain relievers, Band-Aids, sunscreen, or toilet paper. Bring it all with you.
Drink only bottled water
Never drink tap water. Make sure the bottles you buy are well sealed.
Beware of the 'Jineteros'
They are people who approach tourists to offer them services (cigars, restaurants, taxis). They can be kind but very persistent. A polite but firm 'No, thank you' is the best response.
Common scams
Be wary of cheap cigar offers on the street (they are often fake) and always check your bill in restaurants. Ask for a menu with prices to avoid surprises.
